Good question! I never thought there were enough people who identify as asexual for there to be a group. I wonder what it means for others, and if it has always been that way or if it is a response to something that happened (most likely repetitively, over time). And those are hard questions to answer, even just for myself - kind-of a chicken or the egg question. Would I be asexual if I had not been traumatized? Would I have been traumatized if I hadn't been asexual all along? IDK. And for others who are asexual, do you feel a need to avoid anything related to sexuality? I generally just don't want to deal with it at all. And if that's the norm, that could explain why that orientation doesn't get much recognition - if we usually avoid it ourselves.
